Los Angeles FC vs New York City Predictions

• Los Angeles have won five of their last seven MLS home games and drawn the other two.
• NYCFC have scored in their last nine MLS away games.
• Both teams have scored in four of the last five Los Angeles MLS games.

Rossi can register against New Yorkers

Los Angeles can move into the MLS Cup Playoff positions by avoiding defeat as New York City FC bid to end a three-game winless run.

LAFC look well capable of a title challenge this season and appear to be only just getting going after a slow start.

Carlos Vela has been gradually nursed back to full health and Diego Rossi is just starting to show the sort of form that fueled his MLS Golden Boot campaign in 2020.

Rossi bagged two goals in his team’s 2-1 home win over Colorado last time out and his stats continue to suggest he is a solid goalscorer selection at the Banc of California Stadium.

He registered 11 of his 16 MLS strikes there last season at an average of 0.85 goals per game and all three of his efforts this year have been scored in the City of Angels.

New York City FC are coming out of a three-game spell when they have been without their two best midfielders, during which time they have drawn twice and lost one.

Maxi Moralez may return to Ronny Deila’s starting plans for the trip west while Alfredo Moreles should be in contention for the squad after being spotted in training.

NYCFC have been finding the back of the net on their travels with or without the duo anyway so look good to get a goal – and LAFC are just as reliable to register on home turf.

Only one in the last 18 months have Bob Bradley’s side been shut out at home so we are recommending a confident play on both teams to score here.
